M83461/1 O-rings: nitrile to MIL-P-83461, now AMS-P-83461 and AS83461/1

M83461/1-XXX specifies a nitrile (NBR) O-ring for petroleum hydraulic fluid with improved performance over the MS28775 family, in the AS568 size the dash names; the governing MIL-P-83461 and its size sheet MIL-P-83461/1 were cancelled on 2003-10-01 and superseded by SAE-AMS-P-83461 (the material, issued 1998) and SAE-AS83461/1 (the drawing, current at revision C, revised in October 2016 and reaffirmed on 2021-11-08, titled M83461 O-ring molded from AMS-P-83461 rubber).

Designator to AS568 size

M83461/1-XXX is the AS568-XXX size; the same dash on the AMS-P-83461/1 callout is the same size. The /2 sheet, MIL-P-83461/2, writes the straight-thread boss sizes with the three-digit AS568 dash, M83461/2-9YY: the sheet assigns its dash numbers on the AS568 dash system, so the AS568-903 size is M83461/2-903, the sheet's own example (DLA ASSIST ident 71937, read 2026-10-04). Freudenberg's Aerospace Part and Material Cross-Reference (July 2024) also prints a two-digit form, M83461/2-YY, for the same AS568-9YY size.

M83461/1 part numbers with their own page

Each of the 73 part numbers below has its own page: the size in inches and millimeters with tolerances, the document it is procured to, its status and the same size under the other documents. Open a series to find the dash on your print.

Where the documents stand

MIL-P-83461 was written as the improved-performance successor to MIL-P-25732 for petroleum hydraulic fluid, and MIL-P-25732C Notice 1 (1989) named it for new designs in place of the MS28775 material. DLA ASSIST records MIL-P-83461 inactivated on 1997-12-31 and cancelled on 2003-10-01, superseded by SAE-AMS-P-83461, which SAE had issued on 1998-04-01. The size sheet MIL-P-83461/1 was cancelled the same day in favor of SAE-AMS-P-83461/1, and the drawing now lives as SAE-AS83461/1, at revision C, revised in October 2016 and reaffirmed on 2021-11-08, with the title M83461 O-ring molded from AMS-P-83461 rubber.

So a print that reads M83461/1-214 is quoted against AS83461/1 for the size and AMS-P-83461 for the material. The callout did not change; only the documents behind it moved from DLA to SAE.

The base polymer

The polymer behind this family is nitrile (NBR). The Parker O-Ring Handbook ORD 5700 family range for Buna-N (NBR) (section 2.2, read 2026-09-14) is -34 C to 100 C; that is the polymer family's range, not this document's requirement, and the compound sheet for the qualified grade governs. Parker notes that specification temperature limits do not necessarily represent operating temperature limits.

How we quote this family

Send the designator as printed, M83461/1-XXX or AS83461/1-XXX, with the dash, the quantity and the certification the order needs. The quote reads: supplied against AMS-P-83461 and the AS83461/1 drawing, in the nitrile compound the document calls for, with a certificate of conformance and lot traceability. A boss size is the /2 sheet, M83461/2-9XX; a two-digit dash on a maker's cross-reference, M83461/2-XX, names the same AS568-9XX size. Send either the same way. If the print names a compound number, include it.

Frequently asked

What is M83461/1 and how does it differ from MS28775?

M83461/1 is the improved-performance petroleum hydraulic nitrile O-ring, made to MIL-P-83461/1 and now to SAE-AMS-P-83461 with SAE-AS83461/1 as the drawing. MS28775 is the older nitrile in the same service under MIL-PRF-25732. Both use the AS568 dash for size, so M83461/1-214 and MS28775-214 are one size in two documents. Quote the one the print names.

Is MIL-P-83461 still active?

No. DLA ASSIST lists MIL-P-83461 as cancelled on 2003-10-01, superseded by SAE-AMS-P-83461, and the size sheet MIL-P-83461/1 cancelled the same day in favor of SAE-AMS-P-83461/1. The current drawing is SAE-AS83461/1C, revised in 2016 and reaffirmed on 2021-11-08. The part number stays on drawings and is still a valid callout.

What does the /2 in M83461/2 mean?

The slash sheet on this family is the size sheet: /1, MIL-P-83461/1, covers the standard AS568 sizes, and /2, MIL-P-83461/2 (30 January 1991), covers the straight-thread tube fitting boss sizes, AS568-901 to -932, written with the same three-digit dash; M83461/2-903 is the sheet's own example. Both are the same nitrile material under MIL-P-83461, now AMS-P-83461. DLA ASSIST records the /2 sheet as canceled on 2003-10-01, with future acquisitions referred to SAE AMS-P-83461/2, whose adoption DoD withdrew on 2010-01-20 for SAE AS83461/2, Active (idents 71937, 213940 and 277054, read 2026-10-04).

What compound is an M83461/1 O-ring?

A nitrile (NBR) compound qualified to AMS-P-83461 (formerly MIL-P-83461). Parker ORD 5700 (2021) pairs its N0756-75 with both documents in its specification tables, in the 70 to 80 hardness band. We quote the part in the compound the document calls for and name the manufacturer on the certification.

Does M83461/1 have a QPL?

Not on record. The cancelled MIL-P-83461 shows no qualified products list on its DLA ASSIST record, and SAE's AMS-P-83461 page does not state one. Manufacturers produce to the document and certify to it; we supply the part with that certificate of conformance.
